Pagers are civilian objects, they're categorically different from radio equipment because they can be used by civilians.

Furthermore, these exploded in civilian structures among the civilian population. Pagers blew up inside people's cars while driving down the highway. They blew up on grocery stores. They blew up children.

It's terrorism.
